Celebrating in Brighton Park
Brighton Park, around Archer Avenue and Kedzie Avenue, is a working neighborhood of bungalows, two-flats and parish churches where Mexican, Polish and Lithuanian families have built community. The neighborhood is young and family-heavy, and celebrations tend to be large: quinceañeras, baptisms, first communions and graduation parties fill the spring calendar. Many families here plan these milestones a year ahead, with matching colors, long guest lists and music that runs well into the night.
The go-to for birthdays, graduations and baptism parties, often with canopy tents.
Lighting here: String lights between trees or poles turn a yard into a venue after dark. Plan power runs and keep cords off walkways.
Common for quinceañeras and weddings; check which allow outside furniture.
Lighting here: Hall lighting is often harsh. Uplights in your colors and dimmed overheads change the room more than any decor.
